Newton's Laws and Momentum
  1. Momentum and Impulse
    1. momentum = mass x velocity
      1. Momentum is always conserved
        1. total mu = total mv
          1. Even in inelastic collisions
            1. In elastic collisions kinetic energy is conserved, it isn't in inelastic ones
          2. Impulse is a change in momentum
            1. F = (mv-mu)/t
              1. Ft = mv - mu
                1. I.e. in crumple zones were t is increased F is decreased
              2. Newton's Laws of Motion
                1. 1st Law - A force is needed to change velocity
                  1. If the resultant forces aren't balanced, then an object will accelerate
                  2. 2nd Law - Force is the rate of change in momentum (F=ma if the mass is unchanging)
                    1. The resultant force is the vector sum of all forces and acceleration is always in the same direction as the resultant force
                    2. 3rd Law - If object A exerts a force on object B, then object B exerts an equal but opposite force on object B
